Clothes washing machines for household use - Methods for measuring the performance
IEC 60456:2010(E) specifies methods for measuring the performance of clothes washing machines for household use, with or without heating devices utilising cold and/or hot water supply. It also deals with appliances for water extraction by centrifugal force (spin extractors) and is applicable to appliances for both washing and drying textiles (washer-dryers) with respect to their washing related functions. This International Standard also covers washing machines which specify the use of no detergent for normal use. This edition includes the following significant changes from the previous edition. Modified test load mass requirement for cases where: - rated capacity of test machine is not declared; - introduction of soft water option; - expanded stain/soil set; - improved method of loading and folding test load items to better suit vertical axis, horizontal axis and twin tub systems; - revised and amended reference machine specifications reflecting full qualification on new Electrolux Wascator CLS; - new reference programmes for lower temperature and vertical axis systems; - refined rinsing efficiency method; - introduction of low power modes "OFF" and "Left On"; - new annex regarding uncertanity of measurements.

Machines à laver le linge pour usage domestique - Méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction
L'IEC 60456:2010 spécifie les méthodes de mesure de l'aptitude à la fonction des machines à laver le linge à usage domestique, avec ou sans dispositif de chauffage et alimentées en eau froide et/ou en eau chaude. Elle traite également des appareils à essorer le linge par la force centrifuge (essoreuses centrifuges). De même, elle est applicable aux appareils destinés à laver et sécher le linge (machines lavantes-séchantes) pour ce qui concerne leurs fonctions relatives au lavage. La présente Norme internationale couvre également les machines à laver spécifiées comme n'utilisant pas de détergent en utilisation normale. L'aptitude à la fonction des sèche-linge est évaluée selon l'IEC 61121. L'objet de la présente norme est d'établir et de définir les caractéristiques principales d'aptitude à la fonction des machines à laver électriques à usage domestique et de décrire les méthodes d'essai et de mesure de ces caractéristiques. La présente Norme internationale s'applique également aux machines à laver à usage collectif dans les immeubles ou les laveries automatiques. Elle ne s'applique pas aux machines à laver des blanchisseries. La présente Norme internationale n'est pas destinée à être utilisée dans le cadre d'une évaluation comparative de détergents. La présente Norme internationale ne spécifie pas les exigences relatives au bruit applicables aux machines à laver. Les mesures de bruit sont spécifiées dans l'IEC 60704-1 et l'IEC 60704-2-4. La présente Norme internationale ne spécifie pas les exigences de sécurité applicables aux machines à laver. Les exigences de sécurité sont spécifiées dans l'IEC 60335-2-7. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente. - Modification de l'exigence de masse de la charge d'essai dans le cas où la capacité assignée de la machine d'essai n'est pas déclarée. La détermination de la masse de la charge d'essai dans le cas où la capacité assignée n'est pas déclarée a été modifiée afin de supprimer l'ambiguïté de l'édition 4 et d'encourager cette déclaration. - Introduction d'une option d'eau douce. - Extension des salissures employées (pour l'évaluation de l'aptitude au lavage). - Amélioration de la méthode de chargement et de pliage des articles de charge d'essai pour une meilleure adaptation aux machines à axe vertical, à axe horizontal et à double cuve. - Révision et amendement des spécifications de la machine de référence reflétant toutes les qualifications de la nouvelle Electrolux Wascator CLS. - Nouveaux programmes de référence pour les systèmes à axe vertical et basses températures. Nouvelle annexe informative comparant les programmes de référence aux programmes domestiques types. - Affinage de la méthode d'efficacité du rinçage. - Introduction de modes "arrêt" et "marche" basse puissance (pour l'évaluation de la consommation d'énergie). - Nouvelle annexe relative à l'incertitude des mesures.
Gospodinjski pralni stroji - Metode za merjenje funkcionalnosti
IEC 60456:2010(E) določa metode za merjenje funkcionalnosti gospodinjskih pralnih strojev z grelnimi napravami, ki uporabljajo vir oskrbe z vročo in/ali mrzlo vodo, ali brez njih. Obravnava tudi naprave za odstranjevanje vode s centrifugalno silo (centrifuge) ter se uporablja za naprave za pranje in sušenje tekstilnih izdelkov (pralno-sušilni stroji) glede na njihove funkcije, povezane s pranjem. Ta mednarodni standard obravnava tudi pralne stroje, ki določajo uporabo brez detergenta za običajno uporabo. Ta izdaja vključuje spodnje bistvene spremembe glede na prejšnjo izdajo. Primeri za zahtevo glede spremenjene preskusne obremenitvene mase:
– manjkajoča navedba nazivne zmogljivosti preskusnega stroja;
– uvedba možnosti mehčanja vode;
– razširjeni nabor možnosti odstranjevanja umazanije in madežev;
– izboljšana metoda polnjenja in zlaganja preskusnih obremenitvenih elementov za primernejšo obremenitev sistemov z navpično osjo, vodoravno osjo ali dvojnim koritom;
– spremenjene in dopolnjene specifikacije referenčnih strojev, ki dokazujejo polno kvalifikacijo novega stroja Electrolux Wascator CLS;
– novi referenčni programi za sisteme z nižjo temperaturo ali navpično osjo;
– izboljšana metoda za zagotavljanje učinkovitosti izpiranja;
– uvedba načinov »IZKLOP« in »Podaljšani vklop« za nizko porabo energije;
– nov dodatek o negotovosti meritev.
